Idiots Allowed to Vote in New Jersey

Some cynics might argue that's been the problem all along in this state.

Idiots from New Jersey may soon be allowed to vote.

State Senate President Richard Codey has introduced a bill to remove a 150-year-old clause to the state Constitution stating "no idiot or insane person should enjoy the right of suffrage."

"This is yet another big step toward removing the stigma of mental illness," said Codey, a former governor and an advocate for the mentally ill.
